The folks at Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines are looking for divers to work in their aqua theaters onboard their cruise ships.
Eight of the company’s cruise ships has aqua theaters, which are essentially large pools in which they mount a full production show with divers, dancers, synchronized swimmers and more.
Consequently, Royal Caribbean needs safety divers to work on those shows.
Specifically, the company’s looking to hire two types of divers: aqua stage staff and support divers.
The aqua stage staff are more open water-level divers, wearing full face masks and a microphone to communicate with the production manager up in the booth.
Support divers are higher-level, more professional divers at the the divemaster or instructor level. They serve as safety drivers in the show, doing things like catching performers, giving them air, supplying them with props or doing costume changes underwater.
Royal Caribbean has had these aqua theaters for the past 15 years, and 2025 marks the first time it’s sent representatives to DEMA Show.
“We’re just here kind of spreading the word, looking for some new divers if they want to take a leap into into the entertainment industry and trying something different. It’s a whole different level of diving.”
The contract calls for the diver to be on the ship for about six to seven months, after which you get time off, then you can come back on the same ship, or one of the other ones.
